Minpunten
Onboarding inefficiencies: Multiple requests for the same banking/tax information and delays in payroll processing created unnecessary stress. Provisioning of equipment: There was no standard provision for monitors, keyboards, and mice for onsite workers in Canada. I had to use my company card to purchase these locally. Laptop arrived midday on Day 1; phone and credit card took 3 weeks. Onboarding content focus: During the first week, there was access to a “New Hires” Microsoft Teams channel, which was helpful, but the majority of content and focus was geared toward U.S. associates. Canadian benefits process: Benefits details were eventually provided by a third-party representative via a personal Gmail account, which felt unprofessional. No standardized access process: Gaining access to essential systems required personal networking rather than a defined procedure.
